The National Assembly on Friday suspended PML-Q legislator Tariq Bashir Cheema from today’s session over his alleged abusive discourse towards PTI’s Zartaj Gul Wazir.
Cheema delivered a speech in the assembly on Thursday, during which he was interrupted by Gul who jibed that he should talk about the Bahawalpur University case instead, in which Cheema’s son was a suspect.
When he was returning to his seat after meeting with the PTI’s Ali Muhammad Khan, Gul passed a remark which reportedly made Cheema angry and he went to Gul’s seat and was seen whispering something in her ear.
Members of the PTI-SIC were seen rushing towards the treasury benches, some of them even running over benches to physically attack Cheema, who was escorted out by some treasury MNAs.
As soon as he returned to his seat, opposition members started gathering in front of the speaker’s dais and lodged a strong protest, alleging that Mr Cheema had used very objectionable and abusive language and demanded action against him.
